NOTE: This book is twinned with my book 'Life on Mars' this means they are simultaneously published and can be read in either order. Each novel is entirely free standing but inseparable from its twin. (how would a chapter a week suit you?) SYNOPSIS: A team hitch a ride on a cruise ship to Mars. They intend to recover an element unique in the universe known as Black Star. Three men plan to steal this priceless artefact, but not for financial gain. visit www.michaeljdawson.com for a link to the paper copies
